Real Rolex Milgauss 116400?
Hi, is this a real Rolex Milgauss 116400? The watch doesn't come with papers but willing to meet at AD to verify.

Thanks but I just don't want to waste my time if the experts the forum can help. I had a guy said he will meet at AD and then last minute said it was sold. Wasted my time and then saw it relisted under a different city.

Looks good from the pic's. Try pulling out the crown and setting the time.You have to turn the crown clockwise to advance time not counter like all fakes ive seen.

Indeed...
That's probably true for that particular model but one must be careful and not try to aply this rule to all Rolex watches, my 16013 gets set by turning the crown counter clockwise.

first time posting. recently introduced to this forum and i must say it is awesome. i have learned so much in such a short time.
if ADs cannot or will not verify authenticity, what other alternatives are there for someone that is looking for that peace of mind? If an AD will do it, do they charge for this service? if so, how much? |
